Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate suitability for your dry and sensitive skin as glycerin and sorbitol provide excellent hydration, while tocopheryl acetate offers antioxidant protection. Tropaeolum majus stem extract and hydrolyzed candida saitoana extract offer general skincare benefits that support hydration but are not specialized for your dry or flaky skin concerns.
  • The formula is safe for your dry and sensitive skin, containing no harsh or irritating ingredients.
  • It provides good moisturizing benefits, making it a generally suitable option for maintaining skin hydration.

How to apply

  • Could be used as part of your AM or PM routine. Start using this moisturizer 3 times a week and move to daily use if your dry skin tolerates it well.
  • Apply this moisturizer after cleansing and toner in the morning, or after your serum in the evening. Always pair it with SPF in the morning.
  • Gently press a small amount of the moisturizer into your skin. Avoid rubbing it harshly to protect your sensitive skin.
  • Apply the moisturizer on slightly damp skin to help with hydration absorption. This also works well for dry and flaky skin types.
  • Do a patch test before your first use. Avoid the eye area to prevent any irritation.
